Online Harassment Against Journalists : A Socio-Legal and Working-Life Study of the Challenges and Impacts in Swedish Journalism

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningIntroduktionI dagens digitala era har sociala medier och internet blivit centrala plattformar för nyhetsförmedling och offentlig debatt. Denna utveckling har främjat snabbare informationsspridning och ökat engagemang i samhällsfrågor. Samtidigt har det också medfört en ökning av negativa påtryckningar i form av trakasserier, hat och allmänt ogillande, särskilt rikIntegrating socio-legal analysis and working life science, this compilation thesis aims to enhance the understanding of how the evolving digital landscape—particularly the rise of online harassment—influences journalism and its potential to foster healthy public discourse. Additionally, the thesis seeks to advance the field of socio-legal studies by examining the interplay between digital transfor

The Burden of Multiple Basal Cell Carcinomas : A Population-wide Study

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common skin cancer type and affected individuals are known to be at risk of developing multiple consecutive tumours. Research into BCC multiplicity has, thus far, been challenging, due to a lack of national registration. This registry-based cohort study aimed to analyse the occurrence of multiple BCCs in Sweden, and risk factors for subsequent primary BCCs. Data reg

Long-term implications of climate change and forest management for ecosystem services and ecosystem functioning : Exploring the decision-making space in Swedish production forests

Klimatförändringarna förväntas påverka skogar i de tempererade och boreala zonerna och leda till omfattande förändringar i ekosystemens struktur och funktion. Därför behövs analyser av sannolika utfall av olika scenarier av ökad klimatpåverkan på lång sikt, för att förbättra kunskapsunderlaget och stödja beslutsfattande inom skogssektorn. För skogsägare innebär klimatförändringarna ett behov att öClimate change is expected to affect temperate and boreal forests, potentially causing profound changes to the functioning and the structure of ecosystems. This calls for assessments of the plausible long-term outcomes of a range of climate change scenarios to increase the knowledge base for decision making in forestry. Forest owners need to consider whether current silvicultural management practi

The 2030 Agenda: The potential of Sweden’s art and music schools to achieve the 17 Sus- tainable Development Goals

This article considers the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (United Na-tions 2015) and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in relation to musiceducation and specifically small-group instrumental teaching. Sweden ranks highin democracy indices and was recently judged to be the fourth-most democratic country in the world according to Economist Intelligence (EIU 2022). Nonetheless, the

Counterfactuals and their implications: a study of using backward counterfactual statements in accident investigations

This research explores how aviation accident investigation reports are written and their impact on organisational learning and perception of accidents. It examines the role of backward counterfactual statements in shaping organisational learning from commercial aviation accidents. Hindsight bias can lead investigators to overstate their understanding of an accident's causes, influencing the in

The Surprise Question and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients on Hemodialysis : A Cross-Sectional Multicenter Study

BACKGROUND: The Surprise Question (SQ) is a common method aimed at identifying frail patients who need serious illness conversations to integrate a palliative approach. However, little is known about whether the SQ identifies patients on hemodialysis who perceive that they are declining or have low health-related quality of life (HRQoL)-important aspects when considering the need for serious illne

Diverging Trends in Survival and Functional Outcome between Males and Females after Intracerebral Hemorrhage

BACKGROUND: Compared to ischemic stroke, sex differences in patient outcomes following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are underreported. We aimed to determine sex differences in mortality and functional outcomes in a large, unselected Swedish cohort.METHODS: In this observational study, data on 22,789 patients with spontaneous ICH registered in the Swedish Stroke Register between 2012 and 2019 wer

Laparoscopic lavage vs primary resection for acute perforated diverticulitis : The SCANDIV randomized clinical trial

IMPORTANCE: Perforated colonic diverticulitis usually requires surgical resection, which is associated with significant morbidity. Cohort studies have suggested that laparoscopic lavage may treat perforated diverticulitis with less morbidity than resection procedures. OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes from laparoscopic lavage with those for colon resection for perforated diverticulitis. DESIGN, S

Isolation of Amyloid by solubilization in water

Amyloid fibrils are highly insoluble in neutral aqueous media of regular ionic strengths making solubilization a difficult task that normally calls for extremely harsh treatment. This is among the reasons for the routine employment of synthetic proteins in amyloid research, where the amylogenic components are needed. Here we describe a process for solubilizing amyloid in pure water that we adopted

Solubilized cystatin C amyloid is cytotoxic to cultured human cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid within arteries of the cerebral cortex and leptomeninges. This condition is age related, especially prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the main feature of certain hereditary disorders. The vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) appear to play a vital role in the development of CAA and have been found to produce t

Fertility responses to short-term economic stress : Price volatility and wealth shocks in a pre-transitional settler colony

This paper examines the effects of short-term economic stress, captured by general price volatility and a negative wealth shock on short-run fertility behavior in the rural pre-transitional society of the Cape Colony. First, we link complete birth histories of settler women from the South African Families database to consumer price index data to examine the effect of price volatility on conception

Voluntary Carbon Market Engagement: Exploring the Motivations for VCM Engagement Among Icelandic Corporations, their Carbon Credit Criteria and Preferences

Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) have emerged with the intention of supporting decarbonisation and carbon dioxide removal solutions around the world. However, and despite a rapid growth, the motivations and preferences of the demand side to engage in with the VCM have not been thoroughly studied before. Iceland, the focus of this thesis, exemplifies this trend. To address this knowledge gap, this th

Banking on ecosystem services

The COP 15 of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity emphasised the need to monitor, evaluate, and disclose the risks and dependencies of financial institutions on biodiversity. In the light of this context, our paper focuses specifically on banks and is framed by the following overarching question: to what extent have banks identified, integrated, measured, and disclosed their dependency and e

Genome and pan-genome analysis of a new exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium Pyschrobacillus sp. isolated from iron ores deposit and insights into iron uptake

Bacterial exopolysaccharides (EPS) have emerged as one of the key players in the field of heavy metal-contaminated environmental bioremediation. This study aimed to characterize and evaluate the metal biosorption potential of EPS produced by a novel Psychrobacillus strain, NEAU-3TGS, isolated from an iron ore deposit at Tamra iron mine, northern Tunisia. Genomic and pan-genomic analysis of NEA
